I offer both psychodynamic and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which complement each other so well. Psychodynamic counselling primarily allows for deep dives into your experiences both past and present, as the therapeutic relationship brings awareness of your unconscious self in a manageable way. ACT then builds upon this with much more active interventions, and these can guide you on the path to leading a life that is meaningful for you whilst also learning to embrace its inevitable pain. ACT teaches us that, through mindful action rooted in our core values, we can effectively navigate life's challenges and unwanted experiences.

If you are struggling, it is with trauma, your relationships, grief, depression, addiction, or something else, I offer a private and confidential space to explore your problems and concerns at a pace of your choosing. I provide psychotherapy which looks at the causes of our current problems as well as at our patterns of thinking and relating to ourselves and others. These patterns often have their roots in our past and in the ways we have survived and navigated our lives to this point.

Do you feel like: your mind is constantly racing with anxious thoughts, do you replay conversations, and feel like you just can't relax? Or perhaps you feel exhausted, disconnected and like you're just trying to keep it all together. If this sounds familiar you're not alone. Many people come to sessions feeling this way. Sessions with me are rooted in compassion, curiosity and are a collaboration. I will work with you towards the change you'd like to see. The combination of talking therapy and art therapy, for which no experience of art-making is necessary, can support you in creating lasting change.

Hi, I’m Vic and I am an experienced integrative Counsellor/ Psychotherapist, EMDR Therapist & Clinical Supervisor. For those unfamiliar with the (often complicated!) jargon of the therapy world, integrative simply means that I am trained to use different ways of working, depending on the person I am working with. I can adapt how I work to suit you and if something doesn’t fit with you then we can try something else.

That's it! You've had enough of feeling this way and being misunderstood as an Autistic or ADHD person Regular therapy hasn't worked and you are now seeking something which accommodates your unique needs. You may be struggling with your sense of self and feel your identity is fractured. Causing stress, depression or low mood. Maybe you have experienced trauma or bullying, racism or are stuck in a cycle of burnout. There are many reasons a neurodivergent person may come to therapy and it's not always BECAUSE of neurodivergence but life itself. You need a therapists who gets the WHOLE of you - I hope that therapist is me.
